The body of a woman washed up in the Rhine near Remagen on Tuesday has been identified. This was announced by the police on Thursday morning. According to the report, it is a 54-year-old woman from the Koblenz area who was reported missing on Wednesday. According to the police, the investigation has so far shown no signs of foul play.

On Tuesday morning at around 11 o'clock, walkers saw the lifeless body floating in the Rhine near the Remagen Peace Museum and alerted the rescue services. The Remagen fire brigade then rescued the dead woman from the river.

Officials rule out a connection with the flood disaster of July 2021 in the Ahr valley, after which two people are still missing.
